This page has been created to list all of the third-party plugins and front-end applications for mupen64plus, in order to facilitate research. It's aim is to be a central place to find the different available plugins.

If you have made a plugin for mupen64plus which is not in this section, please contact dorian.fevrier with a link of the web site, so that it may be added to this list.

Official Plugins

Mupen64Plus has 5 of its own official plugins: mupen64plus-input-sdl, mupen64plus-audio-sdl, mupen64plus-rsp-hle, mupen64plus-video-rice, and mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2. If you have a problem with one of them, you should report it via the issues list.

Third-Party Front-end and Launcher Applications

Front-ends are applications which use the Mupen64Plus core emulator and compatible plugins, and present a user-interface. The only front-end included with the core Mupen64Plus bundle is a command-line only program. Third-party front-ends are developed and maintained outside of the main Mupen64Plus project but are compatible with Mupen64Plus 2.0. They are supported by their authors. If you have a problem with one of them, the best thing to do is to contact directly the author, who is the best placed person to answer you.

Launchers

The difference between a full Front-End application and a Launcher application is that a Front-End application links directly with the Mupen64Plus libraries and can integrate very closely with the emulator to provide features like GUI emulator controls, an integrated video window, and graphical debugger. A Launcher application does not link directly with the Mupen64Plus libraries, but uses the "mupen64plus-ui-console" command-line application to run the emulator. This type of application is easier to develop, but cannot provide the more advanced features.
